I suspect a lot of these cases might be people believing that "others" have super vivid, holographic 3D color models of things floating in front of their eyes when they "imagine" things.
Inflation was very obviously caused by oil price shocks. The price of oil tripled, which was an unmitigated disaster for the West's petro-economy.

It's an exotic reinvention of history to suggest putting up interest rates did anything to fix that. We had the same excuse rolled out in the UK, and legend still has it that rising wages "cause inflation" while resource price shocks, asset price inflation, and corporate profiteering magically don't.

As for Carter - an unusually decent and thoughtful man who genuinely spent his life trying to do the right thing. But perhaps a little out of his depth with the cutthroat psychopathy of geopolitics.
I have been contacted by many folks and updating me that the functionality is not yet present on Zoho products.

Probably I should accept that I might have missed the option of going through the gazillion support tickets and sites, (for an expected functionality, which should be existing in the product without a miss!!), and for being dumb, but nothing really matters.

The existing documentation and sites should carry a warning and informational poster notifying the users that the data export and backup option is useless and cannot be used to create or restore a service back to it's original state.

I do not want to hear about using APIs and other integrations as it needs additional time, effort and cost which is not acceptable under any circumstances.

I have been reading support tickets since 8+ years (!!seriously... 8+ years!! Whoa are you kidding Zoho? Don't take the customers for granted or you will cease to exist sooner or later!) with the statement that they don't support importing their own backups =back into their product ecosystem!

This is a missing feature across all zoho products except CRM (Which still doesn't map the exported columns and fields and still clueless about the exported data!), but at least it does have a import option with zoho crm listed...

C'mon folks! That is not that tough considering how much you have grown in the recent years.
...that is exactly what I said? Dealers will(and do!) just reject any warranty claim based on the fact that you haven't serviced the car with an official dealer. You can show them all the documents and laws and they will just ignore you. Taking them to court works but it just ends up costing you time and money.
I can tell Claude a mile off
I kind of agree, but I would also argue that of those who treat coding as a craft many are in danger as well. Code in the end is just a tool. Deep understanding won't be replaced any time soon, but I have worked with software artisans who were really effective and ones that saw the code and system as an end in itself. If you're in the latter group I'd be worried.

I own both Mercedes and Skoda (owned by VW) and I feel like both companies are headed in an extremely bad direction. The other day I saw that now Mercedes wants to charge me 200-300 USD/year for navigation and the ability to remotely lock your door.

The fact is they let you pay $100k for a car and then they behave like Facebook and other consumer platforms where you pay with your data and can buy add-ons.

You can't combine the two. In this case you paid for your car, so it's yours and they are hands-off unless you ask them for something. Also, the car should not randomly stop working after three years and ask you for extra money.

Unfortunately, I don't have any faith in Tesla either. While in front of innovation surely they are behind moral. If I were to buy a car today, I'm not sure where to look.
Yes but my fear of having to litigate anything is around 1000x higher than my fear of being overcharged for service or spied on by the manufacturer.

The cost of first party service for 2-10 years (warranty period) is just part of the cost of ownership it’s as simple as that.
If the company is in the business of scamming people on the warranty, can't they do it just as easily whether you service with them or not?

Just have the official dealership ask the customer for $300 to replace the prefabulated amulite on the ambifacient lunar waneshaft, and when the customer declines, you can refuse their future warranty claims on that basis.

Infrastructure was mostly built in Eisenhower's era, not FDR's. Helping Soviets during WWII was a major mistake and it can be personally attributed to FDR - a radical leftist - himself. Many people around him advised him of the dangers of helping Commies.

I often use President Carter's legacy to educate young & idealistic Democrats about how to be a progressive populist, in the traditional meaning of those words. I ask them to lookup how much money Obama raised from Wall Street tycoons to be elected and how much more he has pocketed from them by giving banal speeches about "hope" & "change", vs how much Jimmy Carter did.

Most young Democrats (college or 20 somethings) idolize Obama, whom bailed out banks (100% to a dollar); started (Libya, Syria, Yeman) and expanded (Afgan & Iraq) wars; Opposed single payer healthcare for uninsured and flooded the country with so many illegal & extra-legal (temp) foreigners, nobody has any incentive to wait to legally immigrate, anymore.

Awarding the Noble Peace Prize to Obama was an insult to the legacy of President Carter and reminds me of what Vietnamese leader Le Doc Tho said when he refused to accept the Peace Prize with Henry Kissinger in 1973: "Unfortunately, the Nobel Peace Prize Committee put the aggressor and the victim of aggression on the same par. ... That was a blunder".

24 years would only put you back to 1999, and by that time GUIs had largely taken over, with Win 95 having been released and the pentium was just hitting its stride. There's still a need to pour over memory dumps if you're doing reverse engineering or early stage hardware engineering. What killed it really though was the Internet and the cloud. The expertise to debug a system and get to know it intimately well just isn't as necessary these days. just fire up an ASG and cycle the instances before the problem happens. Software that's running on your servers instead of on customer computers means you can debug those systems and don't have to rely on customer reports.
I think the point made is that digital signatures are encrypted messages (eg. you may encrypt a hash of the message using your private key)

It's also a tradeoff with the cost of the NIC hardware --- look at how much bandwidth xDSL technologies have been able to squeeze into a single traditional twisted-pair phone line, but they use far more complex signal processing techniques than Ethernet.

There have been multiple such posts on HN over the past week. For some reason this reminds me repeat spouse abuse victims who tend to knowingly preference relationships that result in violence. They claim one sentiment about lock-in but their overwhelming need to build a brand in an externally managed space will ultimately drive those sentiments into irrelevance.

The only way these posts will ever make sense is if people shift their attention from content/branding towards platform independence they build. I suspect that is just asking too much, but this actually used to be the norm before 2004.
This is a bit surprising in 2024 (well almost 2025). Android has a really nice API for reducing the need for this permission, and most of it has been around sicnce android 10.

Really? I’m not sure that the word “understanding” means the same thing to you as it does to me.
I think the entire attitude of the author coming in to this is wrong. It's zero sum. It's an assumption that you're either gaining from the platform or the platform is gaining from you. This is wrong. The platform has network effects that make everyone well off. Google owns Youtube, yes it gets enormous value from creating/owning the platform. But Youtube isn't exploiting Mr Beast, Mr Beast also gains enormous value from the platform and provides enormous value to the platform, it's a symbiotic relationship.

Sure, it's true at some point that the Platform could, for whatever reason, decide it would rather suck you dry than continue the symbiotic relationship, that does happen.

But here's the core of the problem - by putting yourself half out of the platform, trying to direct people off to your own website, by gating your content etc. You are damaging the platform. All that massive surplus that is created by having everyone in one place sharing in one common way? It won't exist if you're not participating in it.

I can open a shop in the centre of london. I'm going to pay high rents, but I'm also going to gain massive benefits from all the people in London who can come and buy stuff from my shop. It's a win for everyone. You're going to open a shop in the centre of London and when someone walks in the front door you're going to say "Oh well here's all the stuff I sell, but to actually buy it you need to come visit my farm in Norfolk". You see how this doesn't make sense right?

And laying aside whether you should do this, any platform that wants to survive is going to massively penalize your behaviour because you're freeloading, you're damaging the platform. You want surplus but you don't want to let anyone else benefit.
Unless you are using the Android NDK with the official provided clang for C and C++, anything else is a pain for masochits that rather endure yak shaving the whole infrastructure than code in either C or C++ alongside either Java or Kotlin.
Where's the incentive for company leadership to spend resources on security currently?

As long as there's no incentive to improve security, there will be no security.

Examples of incentive: laws. Fix security or you can't sell your product, if you can't sell product you don't get a bonus or get fired. Don't gather location data if it's not critical for the functioning of the car or you can't sell your product, etc.
AFAIK that's a software limitation, not a hardware one (yet).
My guess after building it would be that it would come in around $100 to $150 depending on what you have around for 3D printing and so on. Unfortunately, I recall there being a bit of a jump in component prices circa 2020 that really hasn't resolved itself.

As one of the other commenters mentioned, keyboard switches don't come cheap. Your best bet would be to look at some of the sources for Cherry MX clones, though for my build I was able to find a US-based source for Cherry MX switches relatively cheaply. It also helps that you don't need nearly as many as for a full, traditional keyboard.

Another cost to consider is the cost of the PCBs. All of our boards (including the prototypes that didn't go anywhere) were done by Aisler and were a bit more expensive than Chinese board houses, but they always came through and I was too lazy to shop around. Per board the cost isn't bad, but consider that you're buying boards in groups of three, and then you have at least two PCBs (the main board and the keyboard).

It's also going to depend on where you live and what kind of import duties you might get hit with.

> Then finish Commies with nukes.

If they'd done that they'd be down in history as worse than the worst of communism. It was bad enough that they dropped 2 on the Japanese which scores American civilisation a questionable footnote in the history books. "Only people to use a weapon this terrible".

The problem with unprincipled aggression is that, sooner or later, other people match it. The US ended up doing much better by defeating the communists without directly fighting them - one of the few wars the US unambiguously won and why people don't want to learn that lesson is one of the great mysteries. Victories through overwhelming prosperity are both decisive and comfortable.
Since this hasn't gotten much attention, I just wanted to say that I think this is a cool project. Nice work!

But dying because a fatally unhealthy pregnancy can't be terminated, or being forced to carry a rape pregnancy to term, or being denied contraception, or being shot in a classroom doesn't harm women and girls?

Your priorities might be considered a little slanted.

Gender identity is used by the right because - like most sex-related issues - it's emotive and triggering. It's a single issue dog whistle.

Given the evidence, there is no reason to believe that anyone who uses it for political gain actually cares about women or girls.
>>If the company is in the business of scamming people on the warranty, can't they do it just as easily whether you service with them or not?

The way this works is that if you need warranty work done, the dealer submits a claim to the manufacturer saying "this car will need X hours of work and these parts to fix it" and if the manufacturer can see it's been serviced within their dealer network they just approve the claim. If they can't see the full service history on their own system they will ask the dealer to submit full documentation and proof that the car has been serviced properly before approving any work, and that requires effort from the dealer - so they'd rather say no. It's not that they want to scam you out of warranty - they just don't want to put the effort in.
But it IS a model. It says that the model you use for water is the same as the one for electricity.

I actually like it because it has no pretense that you are actually doing/learning science. Compare that to the simplified models in high school physics where you have the government literally lying to children about how physical phenomena work (e.g. Newton's cradle) and nobody cares despite the teacher's insistence that you "need to know" this misinfo.

If you want to complain about that model for water being wrong though I'm all ears. But the model for water also being the model for electricity is just obviously wrong, cause they aren't the same thing, if both were correct then there would only be a single word.

Well-Preserved Anglo-Saxon Sword Uncovered
Re Wayland: Regardless of whether you use Xlib or XCB, your application will use the X protocol, which means it won't run natively on a Wayland desktop but only via Xwayland. Real GUI toolkits nowadays have separate backends for X and Wayland, defaulting to the Wayland backend when run on a Wayland desktop. So while XCB is better than Xlib, you really shouldn't use either.

Re offscreen rendering: This is orthogonal to double buffering but refers to the way modern compositing desktops (including Wayland) work. The application renders the window image into an offscreen surface which is then handed off to the compositor, which blits it to the screen.

Re GPU rendering: You can draw rectangles on a surface on the CPU by simply setting pixel color values in a loop, or you can draw them on the GPU by sending a list of rectangles and have the GPU do the rasterization of the rectangles. Toolkits like Qt or Gtk can do both, depending on the backend that is selected, and will typically default to GPU rendering on modern desktops.
The problem with that is that they're also a problem when they're on the streets, sometimes even more of a problem. Someone who's not a problem and generally minding their own business is less of an threat than someone who's drug addiction is driving them to commit violence. We can't arrest them before they do anything violent, and after they've harmed someone else is too late.
I don't have an answer to your question, but I can give a method that usually helps me think about these things.

I try to find theoretical situations that I find easier to think about, and hence easier to judge on a moral level. Usually I construct these situations by going to extremes with certain variables. What if your company had one employee? What if all of humanity was its workforce?

For example, let's say your employer just employs you, and your job is to press a button every month that kills a random person and generates 30k dollars. That's a situation where I personally find it very easy to make a moral judgement.

Then, in very small increments, try and change this theoretical situation to more closely resemble the real thing. Maybe there's some context missing, maybe one of the variables is too extreme. And with each increment, try to pass judgement.

For example, you can change the kill button so that maybe the button has some positive effect (maybe it kills someone, but also cures two terminal cancer patients). Or maybe you want to increase the number of employees and see how that makes you feel.

It's not a silver bullet, but there's a chance that pursuing this mode of thought ends up enabling you to confidently assess your personal situation in morality. It's also not necessarily easy. It can be difficult to find the right starting point (there's more than one!), or the right incremental change (there's more than one!). I hope it may be of help.

For an example of this way of thinking you could look up Peter Singer's argument for charity, or the pro stem cell research argument which asks you to choose between saving little girl or a box of embryos from a burning building (I forget the origin).

I don't know how reliable a source daily dot is, but [their report](https://www.dailydot.com/debug/bluesky-ban-laura-loomer-catt...) says that is untrue.
The author lists a set of rules, one of which is: "always move people back to your kingdom, never to another kingdom".

So he's motivated by "moving people to kingdoms", which sounds like the exact thing he's calling out the big social platforms on, but adopting himself on a smaller scale.

In the end, respecting users isn't the guiding force. "Kingdom building" is. Brand building. Users herded like cattle from castle to castle. It's "trust me bro" website ethics replacing corporate social media policies.

If you have to deal with domain specific data, then this would not work as well. I mean it will get you an incremental shift (based on what I see, it's just creating explicit relationships at the index time instead of letting the model do it at runtime before generating an output. Effective incrementally, but depends on type of data.) yes, though not enough to justify redoing your own pipeline. You are likely better off with your current approach and developing robust evals.

If you want a transformational shift in terms of accuracy and reasoning, the answer is different. Many a times RAG accuracy suffers because the text is out of distribution, and ICL does not work well. You get away with it if all your data is in public domain in some form (ergo, llm was trained on it), else you keep seeing the gaps with no way to bridge them. I published a paper around it and how to effciently solve it, if interested. Here is a simplified blog post on the same: https://medium.com/@ankit_94177/expanding-knowledge-in-large...
